ORDER

THOMAS B. SMITH, Magistrate Judge.

Pending before the Court is Plaintiff's Amended Objection to Claims of Exemption and Request for Hearing. (Doc. 60). Plaintiff prevailed in the underlying action and a judgment in the amount of $103,197.44 was entered in her favor on November 4, 2009. (Doc. 45). To collect the judgment, plaintiff filed a motion for writ of garnishment (Doc. 49) which was granted by the court. (Doc. 50). On September 21, 2011, a writ of garnishment was issued. (Doc. 51). On September 29, 2011, defendant filed a voluntary petition under Chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy Code in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Middle District of Florida, Orlando Division — Case No. 6:11-bk-14734-KSJ. (Doc. 55). Defendant then filed a claim of exemption and request for hearing asserting that the judgment was dischargeable under the Bankruptcy Code. (Docs. 52, 56). Plaintiff filed an objection to the claim of exemption in which she asserted inter alia that the subject debt was not dischargeable under the Bankruptcy Code. (Doc. 58).

On October 31, 2011, the Court stayed the garnishment proceedings "pending notification from the Bankruptcy Court that the stay has been lifted and/or that the subject debt is not dischargeable." (Doc. 59). Plaintiff now has obtained a ruling from the Bankruptcy Court that the judgment in this case is a debt excepted from discharge. (Doc. 60-1). Accordingly, plaintiff requests that the Court lift the stay and deny defendant's claim of exemption and request for hearing.

Plaintiff's argument appears to be well-taken, however, the Court will afford defendant an opportunity to be heard on this matter. Accordingly, on or before July 16, 2012, defendant shall show cause in writing why the stay should not be lifted and why his claim of exemption and request for hearing should not be denied.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

DONE AND ORDERED.
